Question

How do you solve `-7/8x-5/6=11/24x-5/16`?

Answer 1

By arranging your equation, `x=-25/64`

Explanation:

Expand the first term by 6, the second term by 6 (on left hand side), the first term by 2 and the second term by 3 (on the right hand side of the given).

Now:

`(-(7*6x)/48)-(5*8/48)=((11*2x)/48)-((5*3)/48)`

Arrange the above equation:

`-42x-40=22x-15`

Now you have
`-42x-22x=40-15`

or
`-64x=25`

or
`x=-25/64`

This is your answer `x=-25/64`
